ok im wearing that in on my current character. And I'm almost postive its 35. Definitely not 50. I will double check that tonight though. Seriously whats up with this armor? I'm acutally on the verge of ditching it due to the low posie.

Yeah, some people still somehow have it at 20 poise, others at 15 (post-patch). Whenever I start a new game and go get a new suit of it, the chest is still at 15.

Can someone who has it at 20 poise try that with a new game and see if the new suit they pick up is still at 20 poise? If so, you could start a pretty nice side business selling 20 poise pieces to the rest of us.

Most important things, in my opinion, are poise and weight. And a great med set for that is the Knight's. Underrated set, in my opinion.

Why you say so? Elite Knight is better in every aspect I believe.

Knight had always had the same poise as Elite Knight, but for less weight. And post-patch, EK's poise was nerfed, whereas Knight's wasn't, making it even better in comparison than it used to be. There's something to be said for being underrated; being under the radar means you won't get nerfed!

@Strange

Havel's legs look pretty good when you're wearing them with no chest, or a light one. I think they look good from the back either way, just no so much from the front. And anyways, your suggestion probably offered better defense. I just don't care about defense, only poise!

Hey Blaine, have you any idea of how much poise is required to resist a hit from a Great Club? (Yes, it's for you).

To be honest, I don't really know much about poise! Someone said 76 once, and I just aim for that all the time. I think there's also a number in the mid-50s--could be that one. And there's also a number around the 100s... I would really love to know more precisely about poise.

Feel like I should clear up the EK thing, it has the same poise as Knights and they do come really close in defense and weight values. EK is only 1.8 units heavier in exchange for 2-5 more defense depending on the piece.
